We stayed at site 52. It was right by the water and had electric and water. Then site was not level at all, we used our leveling blocks and it wasn't a big problem. The campground hosts were very nice and drove around the campground a lot. The layout of the campground qas a bit weird. The bath houses were far away from the campsites. It is one of our new favorite camp spots!

We were originally in site 11 and arrived after dark. There is a steep incline on both ends of the site, making it difficult to maneuver our 32' 5th wheel. The nose of the camper ended up on the box of the truck (long story here). A big thank you to host Pam who helped us switch to another site. We had a lovely stay after that!
